Inexpensive Frame Update + Wood Connection Giveaway

Happy Monday everyone! We are so excited to be over at The Wood Connection today sharing this project there too! Nothing beats the winter blues like a stop into their store – a craft fix is always a good thing!

Today we’re sharing a project that is quick, and super practical too – an inexpensive frame update! If you’re anything like us, you are bound to have a frame or two kicking around the house that could use a little TLC. So we’re excited to show you how to get a totally new look out of that old frame AND for less than $5! (If you don’t already have an old frame, a thrift store or even the Dollar Store are great options to pick up a cheap one.)

All you need is:

A frame overlay from The Wood Connection

Hot glue gun

Paint

Foam brush

Paint tape

And of course,

A picture frame

First, paint the frame overlays. We painted ours Light Ivory.

Then, use painters tape to make stripes. Obviously you could paint them however you choose. 🙂

Paint the stripes. (The colors we used for the stripes are Quaker Grey and Sea Foam-also from The Wood Connection.)

Once the paint is dry, use a nail file to sand the edges a bit.

Last, take the backing and glass out the frame and hot glue the overlay right onto the frame. A frame that is mostly flat on the front will work the best.

That’s it! Put the glass, a picture and the backing back into the frame and it’s done! A whole new look for a boring old frame. Way cute, right?!

The backside looks like this:

And a couple cute close ups 🙂

They are perfect for finally framing those school pictures! 🙂

Can’t wait to get these on the wall! We are pretty much in love with them – the kids and the frames! 😉 Be sure to hop over to The Wood Connection and check out all the other amazing projects!

We are also so excited to have a $25 gift certificate to the beloved Wood Connection to give away! To enter, all you need to do is follow us on Instagram and tag a friend!
